Get ready to make your voice heard in the exciting contest for the 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year’s People’s Choice Award! This year, the competition received an astounding 60,000 entries from talented photographers around the world, presenting a remarkable array of wildlife imagery. The esteemed jurors faced the daunting task of sifting through these submissions to select just 100 standout images that not only showcase striking visuals but also convey compelling narratives, highlighting various species across diverse ecosystems—many of which are significantly affected by human actions.
But here's where it gets controversial: out of this impressive collection, only 24 photographers remain in the running for the coveted People’s Choice Award. You have the power to influence the outcome by casting your vote until March 18. Among the contenders, you’ll find enchanting scenes, such as an adorable baby sloth, polar bears basking under the sun, and young kestrels poised for their first flight, among many other captivating subjects.
In addition to participating in this exciting voting process, I highly encourage you to immerse yourself in the stunning visuals at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, currently on display at London’s Natural History Museum until July 12. If you’re a photographer eager to showcase your own work, don’t miss the chance to enter the 2026 competition—submissions are open until December 4.
